Diabetes is a metabolic disease characterized by hyperglycemia. Many people think that diabetes is a disease that only the elderly can get, but it is not. Diabetes is getting closer to the life of young people, which is caused by the bad living habits of modern people. Western medicine and Chinese medicine have their own advantages and disadvantages in treating diabetes, but many people prefer Chinese medicine. Why?

Traditional Chinese medicine has many obvious advantages in treating diabetes, such as obvious improvement of symptoms, no obvious toxic and side effects, and delaying or even reversing early and middle complications. Traditional Chinese medicine is of great help to patients with pre-diabetes, that is, patients with abnormal glucose tolerance. Some of these patients will recover on their own due to physical factors, while others will develop diabetes.

Take eating less, exercising more and losing weight as the basic principles; On the basis of heat loss of sludge; Huangdi Neijing said: "If you drink it into the stomach, it will overflow with essence; if you lose it to the spleen, your temper will disperse essence. The guiding ideology is "the loss of the upper body is the lung, the water and essence are divided into four parts, and the five meridians are parallel". Opening the middle energizer (spleen and stomach), removing dampness, removing blood stasis and reducing turbidity are the methods, and then according to the syndrome differentiation and treatment of traditional Chinese medicine, the metabolic disorder of human body can be improved, so as to reduce high sugar, high pressure and high fat.

In addition, the most important point of Chinese medicine is that it can prevent or treat complications, such as early diabetic nephropathy, eye diseases, nervous system diseases and so on. Western medicine still lacks effective prevention and treatment measures for these diseases, so most of them use Chinese medicine to strengthen the prevention and treatment of complications. Studies have proved that traditional Chinese medicine can indeed significantly reduce the incidence of diabetic complications. For example, methods such as tonifying kidney and strengthening body can reduce urinary protein excretion of diabetic patients, protect renal function and reduce the incidence of diabetic nephropathy. Diabetic retinopathy can be treated by nourishing liver and kidney, promoting blood circulation and dredging veins, promoting the absorption of fundus hemorrhage and improving patients' vision.
